Device for releasably contacting two battery cells

A device is described for making independent contact with two battery cells, having a basic body comprising a through-opening (6). To enable not only an easier, modular assembly process, but also a quick replacement of individual battery cells, it is suggested that the basic body (1) comprises two receiving bodies (2,3) positioned opposite to the through-opening (6) for circumferential taking hold of one end portion each of the battery cells inserted in the receiving bodies (2,3) in a joining direction, wherein a contact spring (7) is inserted in a guide corridor (9) of the first receiving body (2) which leads into the through-opening (6) for bonded connection of the contact spring (7) with the battery cell inserted in the second receiving body (3), and that the contact spring (7) forms contact tongues (8) for releasable connection of the battery cell inserted in the first receiving body (2).
